Question

“i wandered lonely as a cloud” by william wordsworth
i wandered lonely as a cloud
that floats on high oer vales and hills,
when all at once i saw a crowd,
a host of golden daffodils;
5 beside the lake, beneath the trees,
fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
continuous as the stars that shine
and twinkle on the milky way,
they stretched in never - ending line
10 along the margin of a bay:
ten thousand saw i at a glance,
tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
the waves beside them danced, but they
out - did the sparkling waves in glee:—
15 a poet could not but be gay
in such a jocund company.
i gazed—and gazed—but little thought
what wealth the shew to me had brought:
for oft when on my couch i lie
20 in vacant or in pensive mood,
they flash upon that inward eye
use the poem to answer the question.
in lines 17 - 18, “i gazed—and gazed—but little thought / what wealth the shew to me had brought,” the speaker is doing which of the following?
(1 point)
expressing that when one is in nature, it is nice to take a break from thinking
saying that his own human presence brought more meaning to the inanimate scenery
pointing out that there is no profit to be made in time spent in nature
indicating that he intends to use the location in some way in order to become wealthy
sharing that he didnt realize at the time what the scene would come to mean to him

Explanation:

Answer:

sharing that he didn't realize at the time what the scene would come to mean to him
